Business priorities are shifting faster than ever. To respond to new customer preferences or new deliverables, you need a flexible workforce. Contingent labor helps, but sourcing and staffing those workers is a full-time job.
With Orchestrate, you can spend less time staffing and more time delivering. Orchestrate can automate manual procurement tasks, saving your team valuable time for planning strategic initiatives and meeting client needs.
By using advanced AI skills, Orchestrate can compile requirements from key stakeholders and then work within your vendor management system (VMS) system to open a request with suppliers to find qualified candidates and schedule interviews with hiring managers. Orchestrate helps you move quickly, so you can meet your client’s skill needs on time.
IBM watsonx Orchestrate can simplify your procurement process for short-term workers by reducing the time and effort spent on compiling requirements across stakeholders, scheduling interviews and updating your VMS. With Orchestrate, you can manage sourcing for contractors, rely on automated communication with stakeholders, and be notified when suppliers have sent their best qualified candidates, making the entire process more efficient and effective.
Orchestrate can manage the entire process, from sourcing and managing candidates presented by suppliers to engaging them and streamlining the procurement process. This helps free up your time and resources for more strategic HR initiatives.
How Orchestrate can help
When you’re hiring short-term workers, you need to seek approvals from your company for the new position and craft position requirements.
You must seek expense approvals from your BizOps team, by email or chat, collect all the requirements, and then enter them into your VMS. Because it's often difficult to have multiple collaborators within your VMS, you might have to compile inputs within another tool and copy it over. Orchestrate can help with that.
Orchestrate automates collating content from multiple sources into a single document, so you can focus on building the business case and seeking approvals.
After you’ve earned approval for the additional contractor or supplier, you need to engage with your business operations team to raise the request on your company's procurement software.
To do that, you might log in to email or another communication tool to share the content of your original document with your team. You might set up a meeting with the job post initiator to share details of the revised request, send the request to the initiator, log in and then open your video conferencing tool to have a meeting where you and the job post initiator can discuss and refine the request before posting.
Orchestrate automates entering information from a document into a procurement platform. With your permission, it asks your teammates for missing information and sends files to you to review before submission, so you can focus on project deliverables until you are ready to post the job.
The next step is to assess and interview your candidates. That means you need to receive emails with candidate updates, log in to your procurement platform to open the candidate’s resume, review the resume and send the candidate an invite for an interview meeting.
Orchestrate monitors the procurement platform for any updates, alerting you when resumes have been loaded, and with your permission shares a suitable candidate’s profile with others on the team. At your instruction, Watson asks shortlisted candidates for available meeting times and sets up interviews with final candidates and the stakeholders on your team.
You can focus on meeting project deliverables.
Finally, you get to hire a candidate.
But first you must select a candidate, and that means gathering feedback from the stakeholders on your team, sending messages to the candidate to communicate your selection, and then setting up a meeting with the candidate.
Orchestrate automates communications and scheduling, manages candidates' statuses on your procurement platform, and sends notifications to other applicants, so you can prepare for onboarding the contracted person to deliver on project goals.
